In the present paper, the interior non-uniformity of oscillating gas bubbles in liquids under an acoustic field is theoretically investigated, as well as the temperature non-uniformity in the surrounding liquid. The pressure, the density and the temperature inside the gas bubbles are quantitatively predicted for a wide range of bubble Mach numbers. It is shown that the bubble interior non-uniformity increases significantly with the increase of the bubble Mach number. In the case of a large Mach number, the values of aforementioned paramount parameters at the bubble center are significantly larger than those at the bubble interface. Except for a very thin layer close to the bubble interface, the effects of the temperature non-uniformity in the bulk liquid could be safely ignored.
